News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

While products and variants are still defined on-site (unless you’re using a CMS plugin), we—Snipcart—did ship out-of-the-box inventory management in the dashboard a few months ago. Keep us in the loop about that feature next time you try out the product. Feedback always goes a long way for us!
When was the last time you tried Snipcart? We (Snipcart team) noticed a few hiccups with dashboard perf and made some improvements a short while back. If you give it another go for another project, don’t hesitate to let tell us if you think it’s still lacking. Also, we do monthly fixed fees for merchants with >20K/monthly sales.
Appreciate the recommendation, really (I’m one of the devs at Snipcart). We’re actually going to publish a piece on how static & JAMstack set ups affect clients in modern projects real soon—we have a strong dev shop/agency background so that aspect’s always been interesting to us. Would love to hear your thoughts on it so we’ll try to share on HN too; we’ll be focusing a lot on both “static” CMS & headless/API-first CMS like Prismic & Contentful. Have you tried these BTW, or do you find them overkill for small-scale projects?
